curious. I bought a few when the LLL.mobi still available.

2 months ago someone ask me one LLL.mobi for $200. I declined. I wonder how much they are worth now.

Prices for LLL.mobi are fairly stable; there has been very little change with respect to LLL.mobi prices in the last two months. Though there is a general .mobi malaise by many domainers, quantitatively, things are pretty good; Only three of 43 the LLL.mobi sales recorded so far in 2008 at dnsaleprice.com show a price below $200.

A domain price guide?

Didn't know that was out there.

Actually, not a bad idea. There are price guides for comic books, sports cards, and other collectibles which give an "overview" kind of appraisal based on recent sales.

The beauty of a domain appraisal is there is need to ratings for "condition" such as there are for comic books etc. (bent corners, discoloring etc)

Average sales for domains should give an accurate value but just like comic books or anything else, there will be exceptions.

Still, a pretty good idea if it is a comprehensive enough site.

When it comes to price guides, it's important to know about the quality of the data. That's why I prefer price sites that provide a sale's date and marketplace -- dnsaleprice.com, namebio.com, and tdvr.com. 3character.com does provide some marketplace and date information, but certainly not as comprehensively as those other sites. Armed with the additional information, it's possible to dig deeper into any exceptional/peculiar sales. The highest and lowest value sales are reported by a marketplace, but, sometimes in fact, never happen (the buyer or seller backs out). Further, failed sales at the high end are much more likely to be scrutinized (and removed from the sales data), but the low end non-completed sales generally are not. The lowest price is of particular interest to domainers, but is likely to be compiled using the least accurate data -- and a few unsubstantiated data points can heavily influence the market for an entire class of domain. In short -- be careful.

Also, I recommend supporting these various sites by volunteering sales data, clicking their ads, or --eek-- sometimes even donating (if not money, then maybe a "shout out" link in your signature?).

Just a few thoughts anyway.

Would you like to put $50 on your prediction? say; If they don't drop below $175 I win, if they drop below $125 you win??

On the question of domain appraisal tools.... for .com they can be indicative (but no better than that) & for .mobi they are a total waste of time...

if you want a domain appraisal that's as accurate as any of the 'appraisal tools' you may as well just throw darts at a board & double your score & x5 & then subtract your birthday ;-)

Each domain is unique thus cannot be treated like any other asset....

equine.com is worth good money for example as is equipe.com & equate.com or equals.com or equips.com a valuation tool cannot differentiate between all of the valid criteria - the number of times the word appears in searches is a very blunt tool, they are all 5L pronouncables & have the 'low valued' Q character (always makes me laugh that different letters have different values)

Jacques.com would be worth less that Simone.com on that basis but if you had a fashion label 'jacques' you'd be happy to pay a premium wouldn't you..

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=449665
Some things are searched for infrequently but have high value names due to the PPC revenue in that niche..

LLL.mobi - a good one; e.g an acronym for an existing decent size business or useful 3L word or brandable etc etc.. worth $1,000 +
ZQX.mobi - maybe useless in the USA but in China (you know, that little place over there ;-) ZQX.mobi may rate as pretty desirable...
in the USA market maybe that one is $100 but in china it could be $1,000

Oh dear... there I go again! one of my soapbox topics ;-)

Basically; the best way to get an 'indication' is to look at recent sales... but interdomainer trades made by impatient domainers with itchy fingers will yield far less than decent end-user sales by a factor of 10 or even more...

mjnels

yes i put $50 on that.. i think it will be commonplace to sell random LLL.mobi @ $100 or less within the next year... most likely this year.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=449665

i do believe prices will level back out somewhere, but it could be anywhere within the next few years.. hard to say with that one...

know of at least 4 more that sold under $150 recently.

Master Chief

I sold HOS.mobi recently for between $600 & $1,000 that was part of a 2 name transaction (it depends on how you split the remuneration as a price was agreed for the pair)

ChineseDomain is right regarding the lowest value non-premiums (like xkx.mobi) but they do not represent 'an average' sale any better than SKY.mobi would as a premium worth what? $15,000 + would you say?

I'm happy for the $50 bet to stand... just remind me when it comes to payday & I'll pledge it to "thesmiletrain.org"

I think that must be silly comment for the day; OTC is an exceptional LLL?

Mmmm? I think that there are several 1,000 'exceptional' LLL by that measure... I have GWR.mobi (Great Western Railway) for example... is that not exceptional? I certainly won't be selling it for any less than $1,200 thats for sure.

mjnels

haha... check the other forum's sales section... i bought one right after i said that for $26 and then resold it for $100.

actually had it at $150 and dropping $10 every 10 minutes and nobody bit till it was at $100..

i have no reason to be overly negative about .mobi.... but i think i have a certain knack for predictions on the mobi aftermarket... and its not as cut-and-dry as some folks would like to see it as.

OTC.mobi was definately the exception

Over The Counter....this price was actually low considering the industry it fits into.

PolarBear

Another exception is DUI.mobi. It sold for for $7000 as reported in this week's dnjournal

I believe that we will see LLL.mobi prices soar in the year to come.

acc

Yep - since OTC is a common abbreviation for "Over The Counter" stocks in the US stockmarket - it WAS a nice deal. ... but the $x,xxx price for an LLL.mobi is NOT as much an exception as some seem to think.

Since acronyms have many uses, LLL domains can especially be valuable to many companies. No one can know everything, every industry, every niche, every language. Aware buyers can and will pick up very meaningful LLL domains from unknowing sellers.

So always be ready to see and maybe be surprised (in both directions) again by other LLL .mobi name sales going forward. And keep an eye out for those SEDO sales results.

i'm still angry i didn't have the cash for DUI.mobi.

recently i purchased FBO(.)mobi for $400. for those that aren't familiar with the aviation industry it is a HUGE term. Fix Based Operators are actually called FBOs. If you are a pilot or an owner of a plane you deal with FBOs. They do maintenance, refuel, testing, remodeling and many other things. Some may think this is high but when dealing with businesses that service aircraft in the multi million dollar range its worth a hell of a lot more than that.

theparamount

They will drop and drop. 3character.com lists the "average" price in there mind. So this means that some above some below. It will steadily drop until bottomin at about 100 next september ish.

Sellers market.

Everyone should read and remember the correct details when quoting 3character.com's price reporting figures ... the accurate description is getting lost in the conversation - They are tracking the "Current Observed Minimum Wholesale Price (regardless of letter combo)" for LLL domains in popular extensions ... NOT the average selling price of the domains. ... HUGE difference between those two terms.
